DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Synthesis

The compounds of Formula (I) can be prepared by methods described below in Equations 1, 2 and 3.

As shown in Equation 1, compounds of Formula (I) can be prepared by reacting a sulfonylcarbamate of Formula (II) with an appropriate amine of Formula (III). J, R and A are as previously defined. ##STR17##

The reaction is carried out at 50°-100° C. in a solvent such as dioxane for 1/2 to 24 hours as taught in EPO Publication No. 44807. The required carbamates (II) are prepared by reacting the corresponding sulfonamides (IV) with diphenylcarbonate in the presence of a strong base.

Alternatively, as shown in Equation 2, compounds (I), where R₁ is other than CO₂ R₅, can be prepared by reacting sulfonamides of Formula (IV) with an appropriate methylcarbamate of Formula (V) in the presence of an equimolar amount of trimethylaluminum. ##STR18##

The reaction is carried out at 25° to 40° C. in a solvent such as methylene chloride for 10 to 96 hours under an inert atmosphere as taught in U.S. Ser. No. 337,934.

The compounds of Formula (I) where J is J₁, J₄ and J₇ for all values of Q and J₂, J₃, J₅ and J₆ when Q is SO₂ can be prepared by reacting sulfonylisocyanates of Formula (VI) with an appropriate amine of Formula (III) as shown in Equation 3. ##STR19##

The reaction is carried out at 25° to 40° C. in an inert aprotic solvent such as methylene chloride for 0.5 to 24 hours as taught in U.S. Pat. No. 4,127,405. The intermediate sulfonylisocyanates (VI) can be prepared from the appropriate sulfonamides (IV) by the reaction with phosgene, in the presence n-butylisocyanate and a tertiary amine catalyst, at reflux in a solvent such as xylene by the method of U.S. Pat. No. 4,238,621.

Alternatively, the sulfonylisocyanates can be prepared from the sulfonamides by a two step procedure involving (a) reacting the sulfonamides with n-butylisocyanate in the presence of a base such as K₂ CO₃ at reflux in an inert solvent such as 2-butanone forming a n-butylsulfonylurea; and (b) reacting this compound with phosgene and a tertiary amine catalyst at reflux in xylene solvent. The method is similar to a procedure taught by Ulrich and Sayigh, Newer Methods of Preparative Organic Chemistry, Vol. VI, p. 223-241, Academic Press, New York and London, W. Foerst Ed.

The sulfonamides of Formula IV in Equations 1, 2 and 3 are important intermediates for the preparation of the compounds of this invention. The synthesis of the required sulfonamide intermediates are described in Equations 4, 5 and 6.

As shown in Equation 4, sulfonamides of Formula IV, where J is J₁, J₂, J₄, J₅ and J₇ for all Q, can be prepared from the corresponding sulfonyl chlorides of Formula VII. ##STR20##

The preparation of sulfonamides from ammonium hydroxide and sulfonyl chlorides is widely reported in the literature, e.g., Crossley et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 60, 2223 (1938) and Pailer, Monatsh., 92, 677 (1961). Preparation utilizing the reaction of sulfonyl chlorides with an excess of anhydrous ammonia at 0° C. in ethyl ether or chlorobutane is also known.

The sulfonyl chlorides VII can be prepared from the appropriate amine VIII by diazotization with sodium nitrite in HCl, followed by reaction of the diazonium salt with sulfur dioxide and cupric chloride in acetic acid analogous to the teachings of Yale and Sowinski, J. Org. Chem., 25, 1824 (1960).

Alternatively, sulfonyl chlorides of Formula VII can be prepared by a modification of the above procedure whereby the diazotization reaction is carried out in dilute sulfuric acid and the resulting diazonium salt is reacted with sulfur dioxide, HCl and cupric chloride in a cosolvent mixture consisting of acetic acid-water (1:1) and an immiscible, inert solvent such as 1-chlorobutane or methylene chloride at 0°-40° C. for 1 to 24 hours as disclosed by the teachings of U.S. Ser. No. 345,935.

Sulfonamides of Formula IVa, where n is 1 or 2, are prepared from their corresponding saturated analogs IVb as shown in Equation 5. R₁, R₂, and R₄ are as previously defined. When n is 2, R₄ is H. ##STR21##

The reaction is carried out by contacting the saturated sulfide with one equivalent of a suitable oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide in a solvent such as acetic acid to produce the corresponding sulfoxide. The sulfoxide is then heated with acetic anhydride with or without a cosolvent at 50° to 140° C. for 2 to 24 hours. This is similar to the method taught by Parham and Koncos, J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 83, 4034 (1961) for the preparation of 4H-1-benzothiopyran.

Sulfonamides of Formula IVc where n is 0 or 1 can also be prepared from the corresponding saturated analogs IVd by the two step sequence shown in Equation 6. R₁, R₂, R₃, R₄ and Q are as previously described except that R₁ is not CH₃. When n is 1, R₄ is H. ##STR22##

The first step involves benzylic bromination by N-bromosuccinimide in refluxing carbon tetrachloride to give a monobromo derivative. The monobromide is dehydrobrominated in the second step by contacting with a suitable base such as DABCO or ethoxide in an inert solvent such as benzene. This method has been used to prepare 2H-1-benzopyran from dihydrobenzopyran (Clemo and Ghatge, J. Chem. Soc., 4347 (1955)).

Applying the above procedure a second time to the compounds IVc where n is 1, Q is SO₂ and R₃ is H will provide sulfonamides IV where J is J₇, as taught by Traynelis and Love, J. Org. Chem., 26, 2728 (1961).

Finally, sulfonamides of Formula IV where Q is SO₂ can be prepared from the appropriate sulfonamides IV where Q is S by a variety of standard literature procedures with m-chloroperbenzoic acid (Johnson et. al., Tetrahedron 25, 5649 (1969), or with aqueous hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid (Bordwell et. al., J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 77, 1141 (1955)).

The amines of Formula VIII in Equation 4, where J is J₁, J₂, J₄, J₅ and J₇ for all Q, can be prepared by reduction of the corresponding nitro compounds of Formula IX, as shown in Equation 7. ##STR23##

The reduction of nitro compounds to amines can be carried out by any of several known methods as described in Preparative Organic Chemistry, 4 Ed., p. 557-563, John Wiley and Sons, New York and London, G. Hilgetag and A. Martini Ed.

Alternatively, the amines of Formula VIIIa can be prepared by a thioClaisen rearrangement of an appropriate allyl phenylthio ether X as outlined in Equation 8. R₁, R₂, R₃ and R₄ are as previously defined. ##STR24##

The rearrangements are carried out at 180° to 250° C. for 0.5 to 24 hours either neat or in the presence of a high boiling amine solvent such as quinoline or diethylaniline as taught by S. J. Rhoads and N. R. Raulins, Organic Reactions, Vol. 22, p. 1-252, John Wiley and Sons, New York and London, W. G. Dauben, Editor in Chief. In certain cases, the 6-ring fused product VIIIa is accompanied by a 5-ring fused isomer. The desired amine VIIIa can be separated by either fractional crystallization, fractional distillation or by a chromatographic method. The starting allylphenylthio ethers X can be prepared from the appropriate aminothiophenols by methods known to one skilled in the art.

The preparation of the nitro compounds of Formula IX in Equation 7 where J is either J₁ and J₄ or J₂ and J₅ and R₁ is H, CH₃, OCH₃, Cl or Br is outlined in Equation 9. The two routes utilize a common nitro ketone intermediate XI; R₂, R₃, R₄ and Q are as previously defined and n is 0 or 1; when n is 1, R₄ is H. ##STR25##

The saturated nitro compounds of Formula Xa are prepared by selectively reducing the tosylhydrozone derivative of nitro ketone XI with catecholborane in a solvent such as chloroform for 2 to 24 hours at ambient temperatures according to the teachings of Kabalka and Chandler, Synthetic Commun., 9, 275 (1979).

Alternatively, ketone XI can be reduced directly to give the corresponding alcohol which is then dehydrated by one of a variety of known methods such as P₂ O₅ by one skilled in the art.

The nitro compounds of Formula IX in Equation 7 where J is J₁ and J₄ and R₁ is CO₂ R₅, SO₂ R₆, OSO₂ R₇ or SO₂ NR₈ R₉ are prepared from the corresponding compounds IXc (from Equation 9, compounds IXa where R₁ is Cl) as shown in Equation 10. R₂, R₃ and R₄ are as previously defined, Q is O or S and n is 0 or 1; when n is 1, and R₄ is H. ##STR26##

As shown in Equation 10, the chloronitro compounds IXc are contacted with a reagent or reagents, to be discussed below, to form compounds IXa containing the desired R₁ group.

The nitro compounds of Formula IXa where R₁ is SO₂ R₆ are prepared in one step by reacting IXc with an appropriate sulfinic acid salt in a solvent such as dimethylformamide at 25° to 80° C. for 1 to 24 hours. Such displacements are reviewed in Organic Chemistry of Sulfur, p. 536-539, Plenum Press, New York and London, 1977, S. Oae, Ed. Alternatively, IXc can be reacted with an appropriate thiol in the presence of a suitable base such as sodium hydride or potassium hydroxide under the conditions described above to give an intermediate sulfide of Formula IXa where R₁ is SR₆. The sulfide is then oxidized to the desired compounds IXa where R₁ is SO₂ R₈ and Q is O or SO₂ by methods known to one skilled in the art.

The nitro compounds of Formula IXa where R₁ is SO₂ NR₈ R₉ and Q is O or SO₂ are prepared in two steps starting from an intermediate sulfide (IXa where R₁ is SR₆) prepared as described above. The sulfide is reacted with molecular chlorine in aqueous acetic acid at 10° to 50° C. for 0.5 to 4 hours to give the corresponding sulfonyl chloride IXa where R₁ is SO₂ Cl as taught by Langler, Can. J. Chem., 54, 498 (1976) and Langler and Grossert, Can. J. Chem., 55, 407 (1977). The sulfonyl chloride is then contacted with an excess of an appropriate dialkyl amine in an inert solvent such as tetrahydrofuran by methods known to one skilled in the art.

The nitro compounds of Formula IXa where R₁ is OSO₂ R₇ can be prepared in two steps by first heating IXc with one equivalent of a strong base such as sodium or potassium hydroxide in dimethylformamide at 25° to 80° C. for 1 to 8 hours to form an intermediate compound IXa where R₁ is OH. This intermediate is reacted with an appropriate sulfonyl chloride R₈ SO₂ Cl or the appropriate anhydride in the presence of a base such as triethyl amine in an inert solvent such as methylene chloride at 0° to 40° C. for 1 to 24 hours.

The nitro compounds of Formula IXa where R₁ is CO₂ R₅ can be prepared in three steps by first reacting IXc with one equivalent of potassium cyanide in dimethylformamide at 25° to 80° C. for 1 to 8 hours to form an intermediate compound IXa where R₁ is CN. This intermediate can be hydrolized by heating in a strong acid such as HCl in a solvent such as acetic acid to form a carboxylic acid which can then be converted to its corresponding esters by methods known to one skilled in the art.

The nitro compounds of Formula IX in Equation 7 where J is J₂ and J₅ (Formula IXb in Equation 9) and R₁ is CO₂ R₅, SO₂ R₆, OSO₂ R₇ or SO₂ NR₈ R₉ are prepared from the corresponding saturated analogs IXa by the bromination/dehydrobromination sequence described earlier for sulfonamides IVc in Equation 6. This procedure can also be used to prepare compounds of Formula IXb where R₁ is H, OCH₃, Cl or Br. When this procedure is applied a second time to compounds IXb where n is 1, Q is SO₂ and R₃ and R₄ are H, the nitro compounds of Formula IX where J is J₇ are obtained.

Finally, the nitro compounds of Formula IX in Equation 7 where Q is SO₂ can be prepared from the corresponding nitro compound IX where Q is S by methods discussed earlier for sulfonamides IV.

Several of the nitro compounds of Formula IX are known, for example 8-nitro-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran (Bowie and Chai, Aust. J. Chem., 30, 675 (1977)), and 8-nitro-2H-1-benzopyran (Box and McCaw, Rev. Latinoam. Quim, 10, 118, (1979)).

The nitro ketones of Formula XI in Equation 10 where R₁ is H, CH₃, OCH₃, Cl or Br are prepared by cyclization of the appropriate carboxylic acid XII as shown in Equation 11. R₂, R₃ and R₄ are as previously defined, Q is O or S and n is 0 or 1, when n is 1, R₄ is H. ##STR27##

The reaction is carried out by heating the acid with a suitable condensing agent such as polyphosphoric acid, hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid or stannic chloride or the acid may be converted to its chloride and heated with a typical Friedel-Crafts reagent such as aluminum chloride or stannic chloride. For a comprehensive review of this and related reactions, see "Friedel-Crafts and Related Reactions" Vols. 1-4, Interscience, New York and London, G. A. Olah, Ed.

In cases where R₂ does not equal R₃, and R₄ is other than H, isomeric mixtures may result. These mixtures can be used in subsequent reactions or separated by fractional crystallization or chromatographic methods.

The starting nitro carboxylic acids XII can be prepared by reacting an appropriate nitrophenol or nitrothiophenol with the appropriate β-bromopropionate or γ-bromobutyrate in the presence of base by methods known to one skilled in the art. The preparation of benzopyrans, benzothiopyrans, benzoxepin and benzothiepin from substituted phenols and thiophenols are widely reported in the literature. For general reviews see "Chromans and Tocopherols", The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, Vol. 36, John Wiley and Sons, New York, 1981, G. P. Ellis, ED.; "Chromenes, Chromanones and Chromones", The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, Vol. 31, John Wiley and Sons, New York, 1977, G. P. Ellis, Ed.; "Seven-Membered Heterocyclic Compounds Containing Oxygen and Sulfur", The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, Vol. 26, John Wiley and Sons, New York, 1972, A. Rosowsky, Ed.; "Polycyclic Five- and Six-Membered Compounds Containing One O or S Atom", Heterocyclic Compounds, Vol. 2, John Wiley and Sons, New York, 1951, R. C. Elderfield, Ed.

The amines of Formula III in Equations 1 and 3 and the carbamates of Formula V in Equation 2 are also important intermediates for the preparation of the compounds of this invention and can be prepared by methods taught in U.S. Ser. No. 345,935.

Agriculturally suitable salts of compounds of Formula I are also useful herbicides and can be prepared in a number of ways known to the art. For example, metal salts can be made by treating compounds of Formula I with a solution of an alkali or alkaline earth metal salt having a sufficiently basic anion (e.g., hydroxide, alkoxide, carbonate or hydride). Quaternary amine salts can be made by similar techniques.

Salts of compounds of Formula I can also be prepared by exchange of one cation for another. Cationic exchange can be effected by direct treatment of an aqueous solution of a salt of a compound of Formula I (e.g., alkali metal or quaternary amine salt) with a solution containing the cation to be exchanged. This method is most effective when the desired salt containing the exchanged cation is insoluble in water, e.g., a copper salt, and can be separated by filtration.

Exchange may also be effected by passing an aqueous solution of a salt of a compound of Formula I (e.g., an alkali metal or quaternary amine salt) through a column packed with a cation exchange resin containing the cation to be exchanged. In this method, the cation of the resin is exchanged for that of the original salt and the desired product is eluted from the column. This method is particularly useful when the desired salt is water-soluble, e.g., a potassium, sodium or calcium salt.

Acid addition salts, useful in this invention, can be obtained by reacting a compound of Formula I with a suitable acid, e.g., p-toluenesulfonic acid, trichloroacetic acid or the like.

EXAMPLE 5 2H-1-Benzothiopyran-8-sulfonamide, 1,1-dioxide

To a suspension of 14.0 g of 8-amino-2H-1-benzothiopyran, 1,1-dioxide hydrochloride cooled to -5° C. in 25 ml of concentrated HCl and 25 ml of glacial acetic acid was added a solution of 4.55 g of sodium nitrite in 10 ml of water at such a rate that the reaction temperature did not rise above 5° C. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes then added dropwise to a solution of 50 ml of concentrated HCl, 50 ml of glacial acetic acid, 2.0 g of CuCl₂.2H₂ O and 8 ml of liquified SO₂ cooled to -5° C. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour and at 20° C. for 2 hours during which time gas evolution was noted. The mixture was diluted with 400 ml of water and the resulting solid was filtered, washed with water and air dried. The solid was suspended in 250 ml of methylene chloride and contacted with 4 ml of liquified ammonia at -5° C. The suspension was stirred at room temperature for 65 hours, concentrated to a white powder, suspended in 100 ml of 1N HCl and filtered to give the sulfonamide as a white solid, 14.5 g, m.p. 214°-216° C. (wet). 13.5 g of the wet sulfonamide was suspended in xylene and refluxed under a dean-stark trap to remove water. Cooling and filtration gave 11.5 g of the sulfonamide as a white solid, m.p. 239°-241° C.

EXAMPLE 6 2H-1-Benzothiopyran-8-sulfonylisocyanate, 1,1-dioxide

A solution of 8.0 g of 2H-1-benzothiopyran-8-sulfonamide, 1,1-dioxide and 6.0 ml of n-butylisocyanate in 100 ml of 2-butanone was refluxed in the presence of 6.0 g of K₂ CO₃ for 16 hours. The mixture was cooled, poured into 500 g of ice-water, acidified with 10% HCl and extracted with methylene chloride. The extract was dried over MgSO₄ and concentrated to give 10.2 g of the crude n-butylurea as an amber oil which solidified on standing. The crude urea was dissolved in 200 ml of dry xylenes containing 0.2 g of DABCO and 4.0 ml of n-butylisocyanate and heated to 138° C. The mixture was contacted with 4.0 ml of phosgene at such a rate that the temperature remained between 132° to 138° C. The solution was refluxed for an additional hour, cooled to 25° C., filtered under nitrogen and concentrated to give the crude sulfonylisocyanate as an oil. IR (neat) 2230 cm⁻¹. The crude sulfonylisocyanate was diluted to 120 ml with dry methylene chloride to give a stock solution for use in subsequent reactions.

EXAMPLE 7 N-[(4-Methoxy-6-methylpyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-2H-1-benzopyran-8-sulfonamide, 1,1-dioxide

0.35 g of 2-amino-4-methoxy-6-methylpyrimidine was added to 20 ml of the sulfonylisocyanate stock solution (ca. 1.3 g of the sulfonylisocyanate) prepared in Example 6 and the mixture stirred for 16 hours at 25° C. The solution was triturated with 1-chlorobutane and the crystals which formed were filtered to give 0.13 g of the desired urea, m.p. 217°-220° C.

FORMULATIONS

Useful formulations of the compounds of Formula I can be prepared in conventional ways. They include dusts, granules, pellets, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates and the like. Many of these may be applied directly. Sprayable formulations can be extended in suitable media and used at spray volumes of from a few liters to several hundred liters per hectare. High strength compositions are primarily used as intermediates for further formulation. The formulations, broadly, contain about 0.1% to 99% by weight of active ingredient(s) and at least one of (a) about 0.1% to 20% surfactant(s) and (b) about 1% to 99.9% solid or liquid inert diluent(s). More specifically, they will contain these ingredients in the following approximate proportions:

Lower or higher levels of active ingredient can, of course, be present depending on the intended use and the physical properties of the compound. Higher ratios of surfactant to active ingredient are sometimes desirable, and are achieved by incorporation into the formulation or by tank mixing.

Typical solid diluents are described in Watkins, et al., "Handbook of Insecticide Dust Diluents and Carriers", 2nd Ed., Dorland Books, Caldwell, N.J., but other solids, either mined or manufactured, may be used. The more absorptive diluents are preferred for wettable powders and the denser ones for dusts. Typical liquid diluents and solvents are described in Marsden, "Solvents Guide," 2nd Ed., Interscience, New York, 1950. Solubility under 0.1% is preferred for suspension concentrates; solution concentrates are preferably stable against phase separation at 0° C. "McCutcheon's Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual", MC Publishing Corp., Ridgewood, N.J., as well as Sisely and Wood, "Encyclopedia of Surface Active Agents", Chemical Publishing Co., Inc., New York, 1964, list surfactants and recommended uses. All formulations can contain minor amounts of additives to reduce foaming, caking, corrosion, microbiological growth, etc.

The methods of making such compositions are well known. Solutions are prepared by simply mixing the ingredients. Fine solid compositions are made by blending and, usually, grinding as in a hammer or fluid energy mill. Suspensions are prepared by wet milling (see, for example, Littler, U.S. Pat. No. 3,060,084). Granules and pellets may be made by spraying the active material upon preformed granular carriers or by agglomeration techniques. See J. E. Browning, "Agglomeration", Chemical Engineering, Dec. 4, 1967, pp. 147ff. and "Perry's Chemical Engineer's Handbook", 5th Ed., McGraw-Hill, New York, 1973, pp. 8-57ff.

The ingredients are blended and milled to pass through a 100 mesh screen. This material is then added to a fluid bed granulator, the air flow is adjusted to gently fluidize the material, and a fine spray of water is sprayed onto the fluidized material. The fluidization and spraying are continued until granules of the desired size range are made. The spraying is stopped, but fluidization is continued, optionally with heat, until the water content is reduced to the desired level, generally less than 1%. The material is then discharged, screened to the desired size range, generally 14-100 mesh (1410-149 microns), and packaged for use.

UTILITY

The compounds of the present invention are active herbicides. They have utility for broadspectrum pre- and/or post-emergence weed control in areas where complete control of all vegetation is desired, such as around fuel storage tanks, ammunition depots, industrial storage areas, parking lots, drivein theaters, around billboards, highway and railroad structures. Alternatively, the compounds may be used to modify plant growth.

The rates of application for the compounds of the invention are determined by a number of factors, including their use as growth modifiers, the crop species involved, the types of weeds to be controlled, weather and climate, formulations selected, mode of application, amount of foliage present, etc. In general terms, the subject compounds should be applied at levels of around 0.125 to 10 kg/ha, the lower rates being suggested for use on lighter soils and/or those having a low organic matter content, for growth modification or for situations where only short-term persistence is required.

The compounds of the invention may be used in combination with any other commercial herbicide examples of which are those of triazine, triazole, uracil, urea, amide, diphenylether, carbamate and bipyridylium types.

The herbicidal properties of the subject compounds were discovered in a number of greenhouse tests. The test procedures and results follow.

TEST A

Seeds of crabgrass (Digitaria sp.), barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crusgalli), wild oats (Avena fatua), sicklepod (Cassia obtusifolia), morningglory (Ipomoea sp.), cocklebur (Xanthium sp.), sorghum, corn, soybean, sugar beet, rice, wheat and nutsedge tubers (Cyperus rotundus) were planted in a growth medium and treated pre-emergence with the chemicals dissolved in a non-phytotoxic solvent. At the same time, these crop and weed species, along with cotton and bush bean, were treated with a soil/foliage application. At the time of treatment, the plants ranged in height from 2 to 18 cm. Treated plants and controls were maintained in a greenhouse for sixteen days, after which all species were compared to controls and visually rated for response to treatment. The ratings, summarized in Table A, are based on a numerical scale extending from 0=no injury, to 10=complete kill. The accompanying descriptive symbols have the following meanings:

C=chlorosis/necrosis;

E=emergence inhibition;

G=growth retardation;

H=formative effects;

U=unusual pigmentation;

X=axillary stimulation; and

TEST B

Two plastic bulb pans were filled with fertilized and limed Woodstown sandy loam. One pan was planted with corn, sorghum, Kentucky bluegrass and several grass weeds. The other pan was planted with cotton, soybeans, purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus), and several broadleaf weeds. The following grassy and broadleaf weeds were planted: crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis), barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crusgalli), wild oats (Avena fatua), johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense), dallisgrass (Paspalum dilatatum), giant foxtail (Setaria faberii), cheatgrass (Bromus secalinus), mustard (Brassica arvensis), cocklebur (Xanthium pensylvanicum), morningglory (Ipomoea hederacea), sicklepod (Cassia obtusifolia), teaweed (Sida spinosa), velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti), and jimsonweed (Datura stramonium). A 12.5 cm diameter plastic pot was also filled with prepared soil and planted with rice and wheat. Another 12.5 cm pot was planted with sugar beets.
